As a person whp believes in free market as well in freedom to serve whoever you want, I fully support this bill. It stops the manipulative fascist LGBT lobby from suing and closing down small businesses.

I very much disagree.  There has to be a line drawn in the "freedom to serve whoever you want" mentality.  Prejudice and discrimination should be fought against, not strengthened.  We have seen, historically, how that mentality has played out with segregation and the jim crow laws.  Are you actually trying to say you would like to go back to the time of segregation?  

It is ridiculous, especially since this is being pushed as a religious freedom.  I mean, goog god, could there be a more anti christian law?  Maybe from an old testemant perspective this law would be ok, but christ taught to judge not, forgive the sinner, turn the other cheek, etc.  christ would be appalled by this law.  

This is nothing like segregation or jim crow, where institutions and people were forced by the goverment to discriminate against people. This law simply gives buisness owners  the freedome to deny service to someone they dont want have any buisness with. 

And you can fight ''bigotry and discrimination'' on an a federal level, but not on a private level. People should be allowed to have whatever beliefs they want, regardless of how you precieve them
